Topo 2008 [Posted on 2008-10-13]
This does not provide the detail you normall get from a TOPO map. I found trails and roads missing. For a general map of the area it is OK and that sll it is good for.I would not recomend buying it because of its limitations.
Awesome map software [Posted on 2008-10-14]
This software is great! Complete maps of the US. Has all the little wierd side streets that you didn't know were there. Great buy, I use it all the time.
Very detailed Topo [Posted on 2008-10-19]
This is a very detailed program but i have trouble switching between this and citynavigator on the Garming CSX 60.
Not so good [Posted on 2008-10-19]
I bought this because it has the topo maps and interface for the Garmin 60 CSx. I've used my GPS and software in the Colorado and Wyoming mountains.
I'm not very impressed with the quality of the maps. They are missing a lot of detail such as common hiking trails and 4wd roads. I realize they are only 1:100K maps so they won't have the contour detail of some of the software that provides 1:24K for an entire state. However, they still should have common roads and trails.
I don't think the software user interface is all that intuitive or powerful either. The menus are not grouped logically. There isn't an easy way to show profiles for a route. It doesn't provide a 3-D view. Delorme Topo USA has way more features and even 1:24K scale for the same price. I don't see why can't Garmin provide some of these features.
I really only use this because it provides the maps for the GPS unit itself.
I plan all my routes and waypoints in Maptech Terrain Navigator Colorado because it contains the necessary detail. Then I upload the route information to the GPS. National Geographic TOPO is great too if you need 1:24K detail.
Streets & Topo sufficient but lacks construction changes [Posted on 2008-10-20]
This product does provide decent topo along with normal road, street and highway presentation. It is easy to manage moving to my Garmin GPSMap 60CSx the data I need. However, some updated construction is missing. I see no way to update the construction information.
